Dobie, J. Frank (James Frank), 1888-1964

"Guide to Life and Literature of the Southwest, with a Few Observations"


Homely and realistic. OP.
CATLIN, GEORGE. _Letters and Notes on the Manners, Customs and
Conditions of the North American Indians, Written during Eight
Years' Travel, 1832-39_, 1841. Despite many strictures,
Catlin's two volumes remain standard. I am pleased to find
Frank Roe, in _The North American Buffalo_, standing up for
him. In _Pursuit of the Horizon: A Life of George Catlin,
Painter and Recorder of the American Indian_, New York, 1948,
Loyd Haberly fails in evaluating evidence but brings out the
man's career and character.
CLUM, WOODWORTH. _Apache Agent_, Boston, 1936. Worthy
autobiography of a noble understander of the Apache people.
OP.
COMFORT, WILL LEVINGTON. _Apache_, Dutton, New York, 1931.
Noble; vivid; semifiction.
DAVIS, BRITTON. _The Truth about Geronimo_, Yale University
Press, New Haven, 1929. Davis helped run Geronimo down.
DESHIELDS, JAMES T. _Cynthia Ann Parker_, St. Louis, 1886;
reprinted 1934. Good narrative of noted woman captive. OP.
DOBIE, J. FRANK. _The Mustangs_, Little, Brown, Boston, 1952.
The opening chapters of this book distil a great deal of
research by scholars on Plains Indian acquisition of horses,
riding, and raiding.
